Is this the worst name for a bass guitar finish ever?

Checked the urban dictionary for the meaning of "clown vomit". It seems to mean "A term used to describe the result of a corruption in video games where the backgrounds, pixels, and graphics mesh together in a chaotic cacophony of colors, often resembling the theoretical colorful vomit from a clown." There you go, chaotic cacophony of colours. So definitely not green only. Definitely a fake finish π -

As it is just the name of the finish, why not just call it "Metal Flake Green Finish"? No need for the clown and his/her vomit π -

I am pretty sure there are some better names available than "clown vomit" or "Glitter finish close to Pantone 7737c" π -

Not sure why green finishes are attracting, let's say, "interesting" names. Here's another one: Toxic Venom https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/C4BSlvMtTV--schecter-c-4-bass-silver-mountain-toxic-venom -
Just saw this one. The finish is called "Metal Flake Clown Vomit Green Finish". Clown vomit? Really? π₯΄ Who comes up with such a name and who wants to have a bass with a "clown vomit" finish? Ok, maybe it's a great bass and cheap. So, what's the price you are asking? Well, the price is a whopping Β£ 3,649. Wow. Well, maybe it sounds amazing and plays well. Never heard of "Blast Cult" but could be good, maybe even very good, not ruling it out, but with a sparkly clown vomit finish? Don't think I will give a try. What about you? https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/blast-cult-thirty-five

I am still tempted to recruit some random people and pay them to write to Ian, telling him how awful his Stingray sounds. Maybe he then decides to sell it, well, to me π -

Cool stuff and he is, as far as I can tell from the video, playing an EBMM Stingray Classic, natural finish with a maple fingerboard. I have been trying to find and buy one of these for ages, no luck so far π -

Wal MK1 Custom (2018) sold and off to Sweden!

Congrats and welcome to the Spector Forte club π€© Killer looking bass. Spector basses have some serious oomph. I am sure you will love it, your neighbours probably not so much π

Ok, I found Tom's original ad from 2015. The weight is 8.3 lbs π The pickup is indeed the SPB-1 (Vintage P, replica of a Fender 57 P pickup). Unfortunately, I have the Vintage territory well covered. Well, I could change it to a QP or Hot P or a DiMarzio Model P (I know this one from my Spector 1977 LE, killer pickup, esp. for (hard) rock) BTW, the bass is a 2013 model, not 2014 (serial nr: MX13...) π Ok, have to think about. Still tempting π
-
Well, the fact I am here again shows you that I am still tempted π Could you please confirm that the pickup is indeed a SD Quarter Pounder? I zoomed in one of the photos and I think the quarter pounder has bigger pole pieces. Yours looks more like a vintage P or the Hot P. I could be wrong though. SPB-1 or 2 (Vintage P or Hot P) SPB-3 (Quarter Pounder)

Congrats, looks great π€© Did you travel back to 1980 and got it brand new? Or did you pull up floorboards in your house and found it in a time capsule that the previous owner had put there? Amazing.
